2 is a schematic flowchart of a method of providing membership-related information in an electronic device, according to various embodiments of the present disclosure;

2 is a flowchart of an electronic device receiving and checking first information from a server, checking second information related to a user, and confirming whether a preset condition is satisfied as a first input related to a user's membership is obtained; corresponds to When it is confirmed that the preset condition is satisfied, the electronic device may provide the user with information about benefits received through membership during the membership subscription period and information related to promotions according to maintenance of the membership.

In step S210 , the electronic device (eg, the electronic device 110 of FIG. 1 ) may receive the first information from the server (eg, the server 120 of FIG. 1 ). For example, the electronic device may receive the first information from the server based on the user's delivery address information. The first information may include order history information of at least one other user selected from among a plurality of other users residing within a preset range based on the user's delivery address information, and the at least one other user residing within the preset range At least a portion of the user's order history information may be the same, and the user may be subscribed to the membership. For example, at least one other user residing within a preset range may include at least a part of the user's order history information and similar shopping pattern information. If orders related to food and beverages, orders related to electronic products, and orders related to daily necessities account for a large proportion of the user's order history information, the user's shopping pattern information is similar to that of at least one other user residing within a preset range. for the first information may be received from the server. The preset range may be, for example, a range within a radius of 1 km based on the user's delivery address information, but is not limited thereto. Also, in an embodiment, the size of the set range may vary according to the number of users located around the user's delivery destination.

In operation S220, the electronic device may check the second information including the user's order history information and the user's membership subscription period information. For example, the user's order history information may include information on the number of orders and the number of items ordered during the period of using the membership by joining the membership. The user's membership subscription period information may include information on a period related to the number of days calculated through the user's membership subscription and the expiration date. The term of membership as used herein may include the concept of a service in the form of a subscription that is purchased and subscribed through a regular payment method on a shopping platform or the like. When the user has signed up for the membership, the user may be provided with benefits different from those of other users who have not signed up for the membership through the membership.

In operation S230, the electronic device may obtain a first input including a cancellation request regarding the subscribed membership. The electronic device may obtain a membership cancellation request through a user terminal (eg, the user terminal 130 of FIG. 1 ).

In step S240, in response to the first input through the user's terminal, the electronic device may check whether the information checked based on the user's information satisfies a preset condition, and more specifically, the electronic device responds to the first input. Correspondingly, it may be checked whether the first information and the second information satisfy a preset condition. The first information may include order history information of at least one other user selected from among a plurality of other users residing within a preset range based on the user's delivery address information, and the second information may include the user's order history information and the user's order history information. Membership subscription period information may be included.

The preset condition may include a first condition and a second condition. For example, the first condition is an order of at least one other user included in the first information based on the user's order history information among the second information. It may include a condition to compare with the history information. With respect to the user's order history information among the second information, the electronic device may determine that the first condition is satisfied when the number of orders of the user is greater than the average number of orders of at least one other user. As another example, the first condition may include a condition of comparing the user's order history information with the first threshold value among the second information. With respect to the user's order history information among the second information, the electronic device may determine that the first condition is satisfied when the number of orders of the user is greater than 10 times. In this case, the first threshold value may correspond to 10. However, the first threshold value may be differentially set according to the user's membership subscription period, and the first threshold value is the minimum number of orders for the electronic device to provide promotion-related information to the user in response to an input of membership cancellation may mean, which may be stored in the form of a table in which values differentially applied according to the user's membership subscription period are stored in the form of a table. The electronic device may determine that the first condition is satisfied when at least one of two comparison conditions exemplified by the electronic device is satisfied. This is because the order number information among the order history information of at least one other user residing within the preset range may be excessively large, and the number of orders may not be large during the membership subscription period due to the user's personal reasons.

The second condition may include a condition of comparing with a second threshold value based on the user's membership subscription period information among the second information. The second threshold value may mean a minimum membership subscription period for the electronic device to provide promotion-related information to the user in response to the user's input of membership cancellation. For example, the second threshold may be set to one year, and when membership payment is made in units of one month, it may be calculated and set in units of months.

In step S250 , when a preset condition is satisfied, the electronic device may provide information about the benefit received by the user through the subscribed membership. For example, information about benefits received by users may include information on the number of orders placed through membership, information on the number of items ordered through membership, information on delivery time saved through membership, or purchase costs saved through membership or It may include information related to shipping costs, and the like.

In step S260 , the electronic device may also provide information related to promotion when a preset condition is satisfied. Promotion-related information may include information for additionally extending membership on the premise that the user's first input is withdrawn, and benefit information related to delivery. For example, the delivery-related benefit information may include information that guarantees faster delivery than the delivery benefit service enjoyed by the existing membership subscription. Duplicate descriptions in the following embodiments may be omitted.

In an embodiment, in the operations of steps S250 and S260, at least one of the two operations may be selectively performed, and preset conditions in each step may be different.

3 is a flowchart of a process of providing benefits in response to a user's input for membership in an electronic device, according to various embodiments of the present disclosure.

Referring to FIG. 3 , the electronic device checks whether a preset condition is satisfied as it acquires a first input including a user's membership cancellation input, and provides information related to additional benefits to the user who meets the preset condition can do.

In operation 310 , the electronic device (eg, the electronic device 110 of FIG. 1 ) may obtain a first input regarding the user's membership. The first input regarding the user's membership may include an input corresponding to a cancellation request regarding the subscribed membership.

In operation 320, the electronic device may determine whether the first information and the second information satisfy a preset condition based on the first input. For example, if it is determined in step 320 that the preset condition is satisfied, the electronic device may proceed to step 330 , and if it is determined that the preset condition is not satisfied, the electronic device may proceed to step 340 .

In operation 330, the electronic device may provide information about the benefits provided to the user through the membership during the membership subscription period. For example, information on benefits received by users may include information on the number of orders placed through membership, information on the number of items ordered through membership, information on delivery time saved through membership, or purchase costs saved through membership. information may be included.

In operation 340, the electronic device may provide information related to promotion. Promotion-related information may include information for additionally extending membership on the premise that the user's first input is withdrawn, and benefit information related to delivery. For example, the delivery-related benefit information may include information that guarantees faster delivery than the delivery benefit service enjoyed by the existing membership subscription. In steps 330 and 340, information on benefits provided by the user provided by the electronic device and information related to promotions may be provided on the same page. For example, the electronic device generates a page for membership cancellation prevention according to a user's first input in the same or similar format as a pop-up, and provides information about benefits provided to the user and information related to promotions on the generated page can do.

In step 330 or step 340, the electronic device may check information in which an order is placed through a registered membership among the user's order history information and delivery is in progress. For example, if the user places an order prior to entering the membership cancellation request and the delivery of the product for the order is not completed while the cancellation request is being input, the electronic device will display the undelivered information as above. existence can be confirmed. The electronic device may provide information on benefits that can be provided when the user maintains membership for the corresponding order.

In operation 350, the electronic device may proceed with the withdrawal of membership by approving the cancellation of the membership in response to the user's first input. For example, when it is confirmed that the first information and the second information do not satisfy the preset condition, the electronic device provides the user with information that the membership cancellation procedure is approved, not the page of the membership cancellation defense can do.

4 is an exemplary diagram of a page on which an input for membership is performed, according to various embodiments of the present disclosure.

In an embodiment, the electronic device (eg, the electronic device 110 of FIG. 1 ) provides a kind of membership management page 400 to a user who has signed up for a membership, so that the user can use the user terminal (eg, the user terminal of FIG. 1 ) 130)) may be set to access the membership management page 400 . In the membership management page 400 , the user may check the information 410 on benefits according to the subscribed membership, and check the information 420 related to the benefits enjoyed this month through the subscribed membership.

The information 410 on benefits according to membership may include information on benefits provided according to the membership (eg, paid membership, regular subscription, etc.) subscribed to by the user. For example, the electronic device may provide information about a special price discounted product only to a user who has signed up for a membership. As another example, the electronic device may provide information on early morning delivery of fresh food (eg, food and beverage, etc.) only to a user who has signed up for a membership. As another example, the electronic device may provide information that guarantees same-day delivery or information that guarantees next-day delivery only to a user who has signed up for a membership.

Information 420 related to benefits enjoyed this month through membership may include information related to benefits enjoyed in the month (eg, June) when the membership management page 400 is accessed according to the membership the user has signed up for. Here, the information 420 related to the benefits enjoyed this month through the membership is only an example, and the electronic device may provide information related to the benefits enjoyed through the membership to which the user has joined, but is not limited thereto. For example, an electronic device provides a user who has signed up for a membership, saving d won by ordering a, buying b products, and purchasing c special products during the period from June 14, 2020 to June 14, 2020. , information on the use of early morning delivery for e fresh food items, f next day delivery and same-day delivery use can be provided.

The electronic device may obtain, from the user terminal of the user, a cancellation input for the subscribed membership input from the membership management page 400 . For example, if the user performs an input for selecting the area 430 from which the first input can be obtained to cancel the membership, the electronic device may obtain information input to the user terminal. 5a and 5b the next step is shown.

5A and 5B are exemplary views of providing information related to promotion, according to various embodiments of the present disclosure.

5A and 5B are examples of a page for preventing membership cancellation, which may be generated according to a user's first input. The electronic device (eg, the electronic device 110 of FIG. 1 ) generates a page for membership cancellation prevention in the same or similar format as the pop-up and provides it to the user through the user terminal (eg, the user terminal 130 of FIG. 1 ). The electronic device may provide information on benefits provided to the user during the membership subscription period, information related to promotions, and information on selection input for membership cancellation.

Referring to FIG. 5A , information 510 on benefits received by the user includes information on the number of orders placed through membership, information on the number of items ordered through membership, information on delivery time saved through membership, or through membership. Information on the reduced purchase cost may be included. For example, the electronic device may provide the user with information related to the benefits the user has received during the membership subscription period, such as a total of n orders, a total of m product purchases, a total of p won, and a total of q hours of savings. . Here, the information on the purchase cost saved by the user through membership or the information on the delivery time saved through the membership is the amount of the purchase cost paid by other users who did not sign up for the membership to purchase the same product purchased by the user who signed up for the membership. Information or information calculated by averaging information on delivery time may be included.

Referring to FIG. 5B , information 520 related to promotion may include information for additionally extending membership on the premise that the user's first input is withdrawn and information about benefits related to delivery. For example, the delivery-related benefit information may include information that allows the user to use the membership for free for a certain period of time (eg, one month) when a user who wants to cancel the subscription selects to cancel the cancellation. For another example, the delivery-related benefit information may include information that guarantees faster delivery than delivery benefit services (eg, same-day delivery, next-day delivery) enjoyed by the user through existing membership subscription. Here, as for the information guaranteeing faster delivery, the electronic device sends a flag corresponding to identification information that can identify that the information related to the user's membership has been changed to the server (eg, the server 120 of FIG. 1 ). By transmitting, the electronic device may receive, from the server, information for allocating a distribution center that can guarantee the fastest delivery to the user, and provide the information related to the delivery to the user.

The information 511 and 512 of the selection input for membership cancellation may include selection input information 511 for maintaining the user's first input and input information 512 corresponding to the user's second input. The second input may include an input for withdrawing the first input.

6 is a flowchart of determining whether a preset condition is satisfied, according to various embodiments of the present disclosure;

6 is a premise that an electronic device (eg, the electronic device 110 of FIG. 1 ) provides information for preventing cancellation to a user who intends to cancel membership, and confirms whether the user meets certain conditions during the period of using the membership process can be dealt with. Checking whether a predetermined condition is satisfied may correspond to checking, by the electronic device, active purchase information through the user's membership.

In operation 610, the electronic device may check a preset condition. The preset condition may include a first condition and a second condition. For example, the first condition may include a condition of comparing the user's order history information with at least one other user's order history information among the second information.

In operation 620, the electronic device may compare the user's order history information among the second information with the first threshold value. The electronic device may compare the user's order history information with other users' order history information. The electronic device may compare the user's membership subscription period information with the second threshold value. With respect to the user's order history information among the second information, the electronic device may determine that the first condition is satisfied when the number of orders of the user is greater than the average number of orders of at least one other user. As another example, the first condition may include a condition of comparing the user's order history information with the first threshold value among the second information. With respect to the user's order history information among the second information, the electronic device may confirm that the first condition is satisfied when the number of orders of the user is greater than 10 times. In this case, the first threshold value may correspond to 10. However, the first threshold value may be differentially set according to the user's membership subscription period, and the first threshold value is the minimum number of orders for the electronic device to provide promotion-related information to the user in response to an input of membership cancellation may mean, which may be stored in the form of a table in which values differentially applied according to the user's membership subscription period are stored in the form of a table. The electronic device may determine that the first condition is satisfied when at least one of two comparison conditions exemplified by the electronic device is satisfied. This is because the order number information among the order history information of at least one other user residing within the preset range may be excessively large, and the number of orders may not be large during the membership subscription period due to the user's personal reasons.

The second condition may include a condition of comparing with a second threshold value based on the user's membership subscription period information among the second information. The second threshold value may mean a minimum membership subscription period for the electronic device to provide promotion-related information to the user in response to the user's input of membership cancellation. For example, the second threshold may be set to one year, and when membership payment is made in units of one month, it may be calculated and set in units of months.

In operation 650, the electronic device may determine that a preset condition is satisfied. In operation 650 , the electronic device may check whether a preset condition is satisfied through operations 620 , 630 , and 640 .

7 is a flowchart of a process in which membership-related information of a user is changed by an input for maintaining membership, according to various embodiments of the present disclosure;

In operation 710 , the electronic device (eg, the electronic device 110 of FIG. 1 ) may obtain a second input related to the user's membership. For example, the user may perform an input (eg, a second input) for withdrawing a first input related to membership through a user terminal (eg, the user terminal 130 of FIG. 1 ). An input for withdrawing the first input may correspond to the second input. An input of canceling the user's membership cancellation request may correspond to an input of maintaining the user's membership subscription.

In operation 720, the electronic device may differentially apply promotion-related information to individual users based on whether a preset condition is satisfied and the second information to change information related to membership of individual users. On the premise that a preset condition is satisfied, the electronic device may differentially apply promotion-related information to individual users according to the user's membership subscription period. For example, if the first user's membership subscription period is 12 months, the electronic device applies information on benefits of additional provision of membership for 1 month and faster delivery of 1 month in response to an input for withdrawing the membership cancellation request can do. For another example, if the membership subscription period of the second user is 24 months, the electronic device applies the information of the benefit of providing an additional membership for 2 months and faster delivery of 2 months in response to an input for withdrawing the membership cancellation request can do. As such, the electronic device may differentially apply promotion-related information to individual users, and may change information related to membership of individual users based on the differentially applied information.

In operation 730, the electronic device may change information related to the user's membership. In response to an input of withdrawing the user's membership cancellation request, the electronic device may change the information related to the user's membership by applying information related to the promotion to reflect the information in which the user's membership subscription deadline is extended. For example, if a user whose membership period expires on June 30, 2020 makes a request to cancel membership on June 14, 2020, but then the user makes an input to withdraw the cancellation request, the electronic device By applying information related to the promotion (eg, 1 month of additional membership offer and the benefit of 1 month of faster delivery), the information related to the membership deadline will be changed to July 31, 2020, and information related to delivery (eg, 2020) Information that faster delivery is possible from June 14, 2020 to July 13, 2020) can be changed and provided. Information related to the user's membership, for example, information related to the membership deadline and delivery-related benefit information, will be different from the information related to membership prior to the user's request to cancel membership, so the electronic device may reflect the changed information and can be provided to users. The electronic device may provide information related to the changed membership to the membership management page 400 of FIG. 4 .

In operation 740, the electronic device may transmit information for identifying information related to the changed membership to the server. The electronic device transmits a flag corresponding to identification information that can identify that the information related to the user's membership has been changed to the server (eg, the server 120 of FIG. 1 ), and the fastest delivery from the server to the user is possible. Information assigning a distribution center that can be guaranteed may be received and provided to the user.

In operation 750, the electronic device may provide a delivery-related benefit in response to a user's order request whose membership-related information is changed by applying the promotion-related benefit. The electronic device may provide a faster delivery than before the change when obtaining an order request after the change to a user whose membership-related information is changed by applying a promotion-related benefit. For example, if the electronic device provided the user with the benefit of same-day delivery prior to the change, and the product delivery was completed before 10 o'clock on the same day when an order was placed before 3 o'clock on the same day, the promotion-related benefits will be applied to increase membership and In case related information is changed, if an order is requested before 3 o'clock on the same day, the benefit of completing delivery of the product before 6 o'clock on the same day may be provided.
